Chapter 393 Using a big name as a tiger's skin
"Susu, who is Yu Huan talking to on the phone? Look, his eyes are squinting with joy, he's chatting and laughing." Sister Ru turned her head slightly, looking out through the car window.
Unlike from the outside, where only a blurry black shadow could be seen inside the car, she could clearly see Yu Huan right in front of her.
It seemed as if they were discussing something interesting with the person on the other end of the phone.
Lin Yourong, following Sister Ru's gaze, noticed the smile in Yu Huan's eyes and her lips moving beneath her mask: "I don't know about that, he's always laughing and joking—"
The words have not yet fallen.
But then they noticed the tightly packed crowd suddenly move slowly, revealing a law enforcement vehicle behind it. The vehicle's white and blue colors were striking and dignified, making it particularly eye-catching in the sunlight.
Sister Ru hurriedly said, "Susu, the traffic police are here, let's go down!"
"Okay," Lin Yourong replied simply.
Sister Ru looked at Lin Yourong, who had turned to open the car door, and said with some concern, "Susu, why don't you go to the fireworks square first? Yujia and Weiwei are there, so you won't be photographed by reporters or recognized, causing unnecessary trouble."
Lin Yourong was just about to put her hand on the car door handle when she heard this. She paused for a moment, then turned around and said, "I'll just stand behind you and keep quiet. Anyway, I'm wearing a hat and a mask, so I won't be recognized so easily."
"Alright..." Sister Ru nodded slightly.
Even though she knew Lin Yourong was stubborn and difficult to change once she made up her mind, normally she would have had to give her a good talking-to...
But right now, I still can't calm down, and I believe whatever Susu says.
As soon as the car door opened, a cacophony of noise rushed in like a surging wave, causing Sister Ru to take a deep breath and feel somewhat oppressed.
After taking a deep breath, she followed Lin Yourong out of the car.
Yu Huan, who was standing on the other side of the small Audi, heard the sound of the car door closing and subconsciously turned her head to glance over.
When he saw Sister Ru and Lin Yourong, he walked slowly forward, lowered his voice and said with a smile, "The traffic police are here, and the people from the insurance company should be here soon too."
Sister Ru looked up and glanced at the three traffic police officers who were getting out of the law enforcement vehicle. Their uniforms were neat and crisp. Apart from one middle-aged man in his thirties or forties, the other two were young men in their early twenties.
She quickly looked away and said gratefully to Yu Huan, "Yu Huan, you've really worked hard today!"
Yu Huan waved her hand and said in a relaxed tone, "What is your relationship with Rongrong? Don't be so polite. It's only right to help each other. Right now, the most important thing is to resolve this matter. Nothing else is important."
"Yes!" Sister Ru nodded emphatically.
Yu Huan's lips twitched slightly, about to ask Sister Ru to prepare some documents first, since they would need to be checked with the insurance company's claims adjuster later.
However, before he could even speak, he keenly sensed his phone vibrating in his pocket.
The ringtone barely escaped being completely drowned out by the surrounding noise, and slowly drifted into my ears.
Yu Huan took out his phone from his pocket and held it up to his eyes for a closer look.
A series of unfamiliar local numbers were displayed on the screen, and a sense of doubt arose in my mind.
He swiped his finger across the answer button, and as soon as he put the phone to his ear, a hearty laugh came from the other end: "Haha, Xiao Yu, what's going on?"
Upon hearing that familiar voice, Yu Huan was immediately astonished.
He knew perfectly well that Luo Ruiyang must have gotten his phone number from his uncle. He hadn't expected Luo Ruiyang to call him directly without waiting for him to contact him.
If he were to contact the other party, it would undoubtedly be considered asking for a favor.
As a seasoned veteran, Luo Ruiyang's style of doing things can only be described as bold and unrestrained.
A small weight was lifted from Yu Huan's heart, and she greeted him with a smile, "Uncle Luo, the weather is so nice, why didn't you bring your kids to Orange Isle?"
Sister Ru, who was listening intently to Yu Huan's phone call, caught a particular sentence, especially the sound of him calling out "Uncle Luo"...
She immediately stepped forward and stood beside Yu Huan, listening intently.
"Hehe, I do have some leisure time today, so I'm taking my daughter out for a stroll."
Yu Huan glanced at the traffic police officer walking slowly towards them and said with a smile, "Uncle Luo, it's like this, my wife's friend accidentally scratched your car. The traffic police are here now."
Luo Ruiyang responded casually, "Oh, it's just edamame and tofu. We ran into family! It's nothing, as long as no one's hurt."
His words were quite amusing, making Yu Huan chuckle softly. She continued, "It's fortunate that no one is hurt, but we still need to go through the proper procedures, since it involves a traffic accident. Uncle Luo, what do you think is the best way to handle this?"
He had barely finished speaking when Luo Ruiyang's voice came through the receiver: "Xiao Yu, your wife's friend, they should all have car insurance, right?"
Without hesitation, Yu Huan replied, "I bought it."
"If we can go through insurance, that would be great. Let's proceed according to the normal procedures, and I'll have someone do their best to cooperate."
"Thank you, Uncle Luo!" Yu Huan quickly expressed her gratitude.
"No need to thank me—by the way, why didn't you have my driver contact me? Why did you go through all that trouble and call your uncle instead?"
Upon hearing this question, Yu Huan jokingly explained, "I can only say that Uncle Luo's driver is too competent. He probably didn't contact you for me because he was worried that it would disturb your leisure time."
After hearing this, Luo Ruiyang chuckled and said, "That's how it is with veterans; they're usually straightforward, but they're not bad people. He didn't give you any trouble, did he?"
It's easier to see the King of Hell than to deal with his underlings.
Even though she had suffered a minor setback earlier, Yu Huan didn't exaggerate at all. Instead, she explained in detail, "It wasn't that you were in a difficult position. You probably thought I was trying to get close to you at first, and because I said I didn't have your contact information, you seemed a bit serious. But I can understand."
"I'll talk to that kid about it later!"
Luo Ruiyang laughed heartily and then said:
"Also, my youngest son has the exact same temper as I used to. He just started junior high school and is going through puberty, so he's quite rebellious. He might have said something to your friend when he got off the bus, something not very nice. Please apologize to her for me and don't take it to heart."
Yu Huan glanced at Sister Ru, who was standing next to her, exuding a knowing look.
A slight smile played on his lips beneath his mask as he said, "Uncle Luo, you're too kind—"
The words have not yet fallen.
Luo Ruiyang suddenly interrupted, "By the way, Xiao Yu, I think everyone has some time now. How about we get together in the square in front of the statue? You young people are quick on your feet. I've only gone halfway with the two kids."
In this situation, Yu Huan smiled and agreed, "No problem."
"Okay, I need to call someone to let them know about this, so I'll hang up now."
"Uncle Luo, I'll contact you again later." Luo Ruiyang took a slight breath and said with a smile, "Yes, this is my private number. You can save it and call me anytime if you need anything."
As soon as he finished speaking, the busy tone of the receiver came through.
As soon as Yu Huan put down her phone, Sister Ru impatiently asked loudly, "Yu Huan, what's going on? Is Uncle Luo the fat guy I mentioned before—"
As soon as those last two words were uttered, Sister Ru quickly shut her mouth and glanced at the driver a few steps away.
The two looked at each other for a moment. Sister Ru guessed that she must have heard her shouting so loudly, and immediately looked back at Yu Huan with a slightly guilty look.
However, out of the corner of my eye, I caught a glimpse of the driver suddenly taking out his phone from his pocket, turning around and walking to the side to answer the call.
Yu Huan looked down and saved Luo Ruiyang's phone number into her contacts. While typing his real name, she replied, "It's the one you mentioned. After he asked if you had car insurance, he said he would handle it according to the normal procedure and would have someone do their best to cooperate."
Sister Ru's face immediately lit up with a relieved expression: "That's great, thank you so much, Yu Huan!"
Yu Huan smiled and said, "He even asked me to apologize to you on his behalf, saying that his youngest son said something unpleasant when he got off the bus."
Hearing this, Lin Yourong, who was standing behind the two, was immediately intrigued.
She tilted her head slightly and asked softly, "Sister Ru, what did she say to you?"
Sister Ru frowned, trying hard to recall the scene at the time, and then turned to Lin Yourong and said, "I didn't hear it very clearly either. I panicked at the time. It seemed like that kid was cursing me for not watching where I was driving."
Yu Huan jokingly chimed in, "Sister Ru, since his father has already apologized, let's just let it go and not hold it against them."
These words made Sister Ru roll her eyes immediately: "I can't hold a grudge even if I wanted to! It's already a blessing that they're not holding a grudge against me."
Upon hearing this, Lin Yourong burst out laughing.
At this moment, the traffic police officer had already approached.
The middle-aged police officer in the lead had a serious expression and sharp eyes as he scanned the scene before asking, "Who is the person involved?"
"Me!" Sister Ru quickly stepped forward and said in a light tone, "Officer, I am the owner of the Audi!"
Upon seeing this, the middle-aged police officer nodded to conceal his surprise...
This woman scratched a luxury car worth millions, damaging several paint surfaces and denting the door, yet she's still so lively and cheerful?
He hesitated for a moment, then said in a measured tone, "Hmm... first, take out your driver's license and vehicle registration."
"Okay." Sister Ru quickly turned around.
She moved quickly and efficiently, as if afraid of wasting time. As she went back to the driver's side of the Audi to get her documents, she glanced at the two young police officers.
They are taking photos and measurements, meticulously carrying out their investigation.
The short, stout reporter and Tang Jie were also quietly observing and taking pictures. Although their cameras were no longer pointed at Yu Huan and the others, they were still capturing images of the scene, preparing to collect more material for their reporting on the incident.
However, keeping Yu Huan's instructions in mind, the camera focused more on the accident vehicles and the people handling the accident.
Yu Huan put her hands on her hips and looked around at the much thinner human wall.
The previous uproar had subsided considerably.
Perhaps due to the arrival of traffic police, and the fact that no conflict occurred between the two sides, the onlookers felt there was no more drama to watch, and most of them gradually dispersed.
Yu Huan's mood immediately lightened; he didn't want to be stared at like a monkey by so many people.
Sister Ru quickly obtained her documents and walked around from the driver's side while making a phone call.
With a formulaic smile, she handed her identification to the middle-aged police officer while saying into her phone, "I understand, just a moment—"
The words have not yet fallen.
She slightly turned her phone away and turned her gaze to Yu Huan and Lin Yourong, who was a step behind him.
"Yujia called and said Weiwei is crying and making a fuss over there. Why don't you come and help me take care of the baby? Besides, I can't let this ruin your fun at Orange Isle." Sister Ru's eyes showed a hint of helplessness.
Upon hearing this, Lin Yourong chimed in, "I'll go take a look. Yu Huan, you stay here and lend a hand."
Sister Ru quickly waved her hand and said, "Hey! Is there anything else I can do to help? It's just a matter of going through the motions! Weiwei is easy to please. I think she likes Yu Huan quite a bit. She kept talking about asking me to take her to see the handsome uncle... If we see anything to eat or play with on the way, just buy her one."
“There’s really nothing seriously wrong now,” Yu Huan glanced at the driver who was telling the young police officer about the accident in the distance, and said softly, “Luo Ruiyang asked me to go to the statue to meet him and catch up, and I agreed.”
Upon hearing this, Sister Ru said into her phone without hesitation, "Yujia, wait for Weiwei in the square. Susu and Yuhuan will be here soon."
She hung up the phone, put it in her pocket, and then raised both hands to gently push the young couple's arms: "You don't need to worry about this anymore."
Lin Yourong hesitated, "Sister Ru, are you really sure you can do it?"
Sister Ru interrupted her with a smile: "Alright! Rongrong, there are traffic police officers here, and the insurance company people will be here soon. President Luo is so understanding, there won't be any problems. Weiwei was crying on the phone and it made my heart race. You two should go quickly."
Seeing this, Yu Huan turned to the side, took Lin Yourong's hand, and said, "Sister Ru, please contact us anytime if anything happens."
"Go ahead, go ahead!" Sister Ru waved her hand.
Yu Huan led Lin Yourong and took a step forward. She glanced at Tang Jie and then nodded to him.
Seeing that they were about to leave, Tang Jie hurriedly waved goodbye with a big smile on his face.
The young couple walked through the gradually dispersing crowd, while those still watching cast curious glances their way, but neither of them paid any attention.
Back then, there was no miniature train on Orange Isle. They quickened their pace, descended the stone steps, and followed the waterfront platform toward the head of the isle.
A gentle river breeze caressed their clothes.
Seeing that there were no tourists around, Lin Yourong suddenly nudged Yu Huan's arm and teased, "Such a big boss is giving you a lot of face!"
Upon hearing this, Yu Huan chuckled and said, "What do you mean by giving me face? I'm just using your connections as a shield. What he truly values is your father and your uncle."
"is it?"
Lin Yourong narrowed her eyes slightly, gazing at the shimmering river surface, and continued:
"You're a leader now, or Mr. Y, so you still have some influence."
